Mines' Policy Library

This website provides centralized access and organization for policies at Mines. Generally speaking, policies are governing principles that are formally approved to provide assistance in the conduct of institutional affairs and operations.

(2012)). To that end, the following policies have been promulgated and/or approved by the Mines Board of Trustees:

There are a variety of other administrative policies at Mines promulgated by the President, Vice Presidents, and other chief administrators (e.g., Chief Information Officer, Associate Vice President of Human Resources).
